James Bond had no truck with an affectation like lapel pins, although he is occasionally fond of a corsage in his button hole. They could be lethal, you see. In the Pierce Brosnan-era The World Is Not Enough film, the opening action scene involves a British aristo who comes to regret his fondness for a family heirloom lapel pin; the trinket has been swapped for a replica planted with a transmitter that sparks an explosion. At least it’s a rather stylish way to go.
